Org Music have announced the reissue of I Don’t Want To Grow Up, the landmark second album from legendary punk pioneers Descendents, that will be released on November 21st. The reissue will be available on vinyl, CD, and cassette, alongside a special Punk Note vinyl edition featuring alternate packaging. This release marks the second installment in Org Music‘s ongoing reissue campaign with Descendents, who recently reclaimed ownership of their master recordings. Following the acclaimed reissue of Milo Goes To College, this new edition brings fresh attention to one of the band’s most beloved albums, arriving just in time for its 40th anniversary.

Originally released in 1985 on New Alliance Records, I Don’t Want To Grow Up was recorded after vocalist Milo Aukerman returned from college. It also marked the first of two albums to feature guitarist Ray Cooper. With brighter melodies and sharper hooks than its predecessor, the record helped the band avoid the dreaded sophomore slump while cementing their status as one of punk’s most influential voices. With I Don’t Want To Grow Up, Descendents sharpened their signature mix of melody and urgency, laying down a blueprint that countless punk bands would follow. Forty years later, the album still feels raw, relatable, and essential, now reintroduced in a definitive reissue that honors its enduring legacy.

More reissues are on deck. The campaign will continue with Enjoy!, ALL, Bonus Fat and beyond, with each release overseen by the band themselves, ensuring the music is presented exactly as they intend. This effort isn’t just a trip down memory lane, it’s about preserving the work, honoring the intent behind it, and opening the door for a new generation to discover one of punk’s most influential catalogs.
